Strategic goals and business requirements should drive Information Technology (IT) solutions. The unit examines how Enterprise Architecture (EA) and enterprise modelling contributes to this alignment. Enterprise architecture is about understanding all of the different people, processes, business and technology elements that go to make up the enterprise and how those elements interrelate. The unit emphasizes the importance of planning and managing IT from an architectural perspective and highlights how an agile systems architecture can more effectively support changes in business strategy. Students examine some of the common EA frameworks and documentation so they can use modelling techniques that support strategy and business-driven views of the enterprise. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is introduced and developed as an approach to encourage business agility. Differing SOA implementation frameworks will be presented.
Unit was previously coded MAN6930, MIS5707
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
On-campus students attend a three hour weekly session consisting of a two-hour lecture with demonstrations, and a one-hour laboratory session. The laboratory sessions will introduce a number of enterprise modelling techniques. The modelling tool IBM Websphere Advanced Business Modeller will be used to demonstrate various modelling techniques. The open source modelling tool Archi will be demonstrated and applied. The material for this unit will be supplemented with regular industry speakers (where appropriate these will be recorded for off-campus students). Off campus students will access this modular information via Blackboard and use the appropriate software for modelling. Regular online access is required.
